“Being the only naked person on a beach is not an issue, it’s not exhibitionism either, it’s being a relaxed and open nudist in a place where I can be myself, unashamed to enjoy life naked.” – Creative, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=2925&idt=14836&page=5

“I've just been hiking with a big group of naked hikers and there is some safety in numbers.  But the same etiquette applies as when I'm hiking alone.  I wear a hat and carry a sarong as a wrap.  If caught at very short notice, I cover my bits with my hat.  But I can usually see the textile hikers approaching which gives time to put on my wrap.  It avoids struggling to pull shorts up over muddy boots.  Yes, they know I've been hiking naked but they appreciate my attempt to cover up for their benefit.  A cheery Hello always helps too.” – Ollygrumps, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=132&idt=58667&page=2

“My first nudist experience was in early June 2010.  After moving to Florida the previous year I started searching the Internet for nudist places and found there were several about 70 miles away.  I always wanted to try it and and didn't know if I had the nerve.  I went down to Paradise Lake Resort and after checking in and having a brief tour I quickly proceeded to undress in the parking lot and head over to the pool area.  It wasn't long before all my fears were gone.  It felt so good to go into the pool and sunbathe without a bathing suit.  I met another couple that was there for the first time and everyone was so friendly. . . No one cares what your body looks like, it's just a relaxed feeling.” - Tom B., The Villages, Florida, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=70

“Last year I was building some hiking trails, and I spent the whole time nude!  Felt so weird putting clothes on at the end of the day.” – Nakdinvt, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=14570&page=2

“There is a natural desire to be naked and be seen naked.” – Nude Soul, https://twitter.com/naturistevie
